    Carefreeliving replied to leslie_d's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ask them if you can defer for a year. That's an option to explore

  2. UCSF NP Program 2017

    Carefreeliving replied to bmcvean's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hey everyone, I hope I can revise this thread. For everyone who attended the AGACNP program, how was it? Do you feel there was enough clinical hours offered through the program? Did you have to write...

    Carefreeliving replied to gyanez's topic in Nursing Informatics

  4. lowwwwwwwwwww agency pay

    Carefreeliving replied to Aviationurse's topic in Agency Nurses

    Maxim healthcare services can be found all over the US. I worked with a Maxim healthcare agency based out of Jacksonville, FL for my first travel assignment in NC. She promised me that she would...

  5. Just signed on

    Carefreeliving replied to Glycerine82's topic in Agency Nurses

    Congrats on the new job. I did agency nursing for 3 years in WA state. I never worked for another agency, so I'm not sure if my experience concedes with the experience of other agency nurses. The...

  6. Stamps anyone?

    Carefreeliving posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been travel nursing this year, but recently settled down for a full time job. I am going through orientation and I find that nurses here are allowed to use stamps for their signatures! Am I...

  7. Hawaii contract details - Opinions needed please!

    Carefreeliving posted a topic in Travel

    The following is an email I got from my recruiter in regards to a contract position in Oahu, HI. The numbers aren't looking too attractive to me. Orientation pay at $14 hour?! What?! Am I missing...

  8. Heart breaking first shift in NICU

    Carefreeliving replied to MrsNicuNurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm not a NICU nurse, but we all as nurses have days like this. Stay strong and make sure you talk it out with someone. Chin up, dear.

  9. Talked out of nursing by others and myself....

    Carefreeliving replied to radicalsenseofhope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Who gives a damn what others have to say in relation to your dream? Do it. You don't need all of us here to tell you what to do either; you already know what you need to do. I'm only saying this to...

  10. New RN Can I travel?

    Carefreeliving replied to Smurfette752's topic in Travel

    I traveled after 3 years of experience. I think you can travel after two years of experience if you are confident in your skills. You definitely need to be flexible and able to adjust easily to...

  11. Travel nursing need advice!!

    Carefreeliving replied to 86711lh's topic in Travel

    Travel assignments aren't as abundant as they used to be; therefore agencies/hospitals can be more picky about the travelers they want. I would recommend that you obtain 2 years of experience prior to...

    Carefreeliving replied to natashacardiacrn's topic in Travel

    Hello guys! I just finished an assignment in Oahu, Hawaii. It was a 13- week assignment that lasted from the end of May til the end of August. I worked at Queen's Medical center in Honolulu, HI. My...

  13. Hawaii contract details - Opinions needed please!

    Carefreeliving replied to Carefreeliving's topic in Travel

    Thanks for your input. I always like a second, or third pair of eyes to glance over what I've got in front of me when it comes to assignments. PaulaFlexRn, is your friend getting $42/hour PLUS the...

  15. First Job Hunt Help in Mobile,Al

    Carefreeliving replied to teokie0824's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I worked at USA, day shift with one year of experience and my pay was $23 a hour. I can't recall shift differential. Mobile Infirmary is comparable; they are right down the street from each

  16. What does the job outlook look like in Fayetteville?

    Carefreeliving posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I am currently going to relocate to Fayetteville because my boyfriend is in the military. I have applied to jobs at Cape Fear Valley and Womack Army Medical center with zero response. I have 2.5 years...

  17. Anyone work for Gwinnett?

    Carefreeliving replied to missladyrn's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I do! I have to say, this is the best nursing job I have had thus far. The retention rate on my unit is sky high, and it's a three year wait period to get on days. Most people here are pretty content...

  18. Question about CT scans and contrast

    Carefreeliving replied to giveface's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Same here, physician has to specify with or without. They probably call and clarify the order before they conduct the scan

  19. Pre-hire examination

    Carefreeliving replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yay! Props to you

  20. Nurse Externship Advice

    Carefreeliving replied to Reagan622's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think this is going to depend on the nurse that you will be shadowing. Some nurses will just want you to observe, while others want you to be hands on. You have to develop that trust and confidence...

  21. Interview experiences from others

    Carefreeliving replied to larien37's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have worked at three different hospitals and the type of questions I normally get were: 1.) How do you handle a difficult family member and/or patient? 2.) Give an example of a difficult family...

  22. EHRs stink!

    Carefreeliving replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    Like the others said, chart as you go! Chart when it's fresh on your mind. You'll get a routine down. Did your hospital not offer classes prior to the system going live? My most recent job just...

  23. precepting on CVSU/vasc-stepdown

    Carefreeliving replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Cardiac

    The unit description is pretty vague and doesn't give specifics, but I can tell you what I did when I worked on a cardiovascular step-down unit. The type of patients that I dealt with consisted of...

  24. New to Cardiac Nursing...pep talk needed :)

    Carefreeliving replied to skyandsydneysmom's topic in Cardiac

    Look around on your unit. There should be tons of resources available at your finger tips. If you have a smart phone, you can download tons of nurse resources and have that at your disposal as well. I...

  25. petite scrubs

    Carefreeliving replied to jordanmarie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Cherokee XXS is still too big for me. I also feel like it "hangs" on me. I have found that the grey's anatomy xxs fits great. But alas, I settled for "larger" scrubs and what I do is wear some yoga...
